We had been in our home for over 12 months when I decided enough was enough. The bright green walls just weren’t doing it for me. Sofia hardly slept in her cot, she actually preferred to sleep on her cot mattress but only if it was on the floor (go figure) and I just couldn’t… Continue reading Sofia’s bedroom makeover
It’s 11:45pm and I find myself sitting at the computer, crying at the thought of my baby girl turning 4 in 11 days (well, now that I'm posting a little later than expected). I can’t even comprehend that this thought. Four years since the greatest achievement of my life. The pain, the sickness, the tears,… Continue reading Soon you’ll be four…
On the 15th of April 2018 I was sure I had begun labour. I was having painful contractions every 20-30mins that I brushed it off as Braxton hicks as my husband was 1.5 hours away at our best man’s wedding. I was lying in bed next to my first-born thinking, “No, no not now, I’m… Continue reading Sofia turns two…
Whether you’re a stay at home parent or an essential work- I feel you. I may be a stay at home mum, but we are all struggling during this time, some more than others. It’s important to remember that this is affecting every. Single. One. Of us, in one way or other. I’m here to… Continue reading A letter to all parents during the COVID 19 pandemic,
I can't believe its been over 6 months since my last blog. I remember drafting my blog about my visits to my psychologist, but I felt like I had rambled a bit too much so I needed a break. Turns out my keyboard needed a break too and decided to stop working. My laptop keyboard… Continue reading Where have we been?
My first born.The one who gave me the title “mama”.As I look at you fast asleep tonight, I can’t help but cry. I’m so sorry I’m so hard on you.I’m so sorry I expect so much from you.I’m so sorry for the tears I’ve caused you. It’s so hard to see past your tantrums. I forget… Continue reading A letter to Mia
This morning I was that mum. The mum who has tried everything to understand why her 14 month old just won’t sleep. 1:30am quickly turned into 4am and she’s STILL awake and crying. I’m past the extreme exhaustion part. I’m now wide awake. Then there’s my 3 year old, Mia, currently fighting a cold who… Continue reading I was THAT mum this morning…
As I go in to re-settle Sofia for the third time tonight (in 40 minutes) I can't help but reflect on the day we had, and oh what a day it was. I'm not sure if you've found my blog via my instagram page, but if you have and watch my stories, then you'll know… Continue reading S#*! happens… and that’s ok!
The chaos that was our moving day. I'm not sure how helpful this will be to anyone moving, but this is as short as I could keep our moving day to. It's a bit all over the place, but hey, welcome to my brain, my life, my chaos.
It’s funny, I’ve been going over and over in my head on what I’m going to write my first blog about, how I’m going to word it over and over again. Now, here I am typing, and I’ve started and deleted my sentence four times already. Well, welcome to my brain, my life, my chaos… Continue reading Here it goes…
